Autorenporträt

Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), stands as one of the giants of American literature. Born in Florida, Missouri, Twain grew up in Hannibal, a small riverside town that would later provide the backdrop for his most famous works, 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. Twain began his career as a typesetter before becoming a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, an experience that deeply influenced his writing. His pen name, 'Mark Twain,' derives from a riverman's term indicating safe navigating depth. Twain's literary style is characterized by wit, satire, and a keen eye for the foibles of human nature, making his works enduringly popular and frequently studied. His travel narratives, such as 'The Innocents Abroad', display his sharp observational skills and humorous perspective. Twain was also a prolific essayist, as demonstrated in his collection 'How to Tell a Story, and Other Essays', in which he both entertains and educates the reader on the nuances of storytelling with his signature charm and humor. A lecturer and public speaker, Twain's legacy extends beyond his writings to his influence on American vernacular storytelling. As a defining voice in American literature, Mark Twain's contributions were shaped by his ability to portray the American experience with wit, skepticism, and a deep empathy for common people.
